In honor of Mary Stark Whitehouse and The Authentic Movement Community, this years Annual Meeting Workshop is focused on exploring how Authentic Movement deepens all Somatic Practices.

Featured Presenter, Long time ISMETA Member:

Paula Josa-Jones, RSMT, MA CMA 

We are pleased to have a presenter who has a broad and deep history with somatics, including the work of Laban, Authentic Movement, Body-Mind CenteringⓇ, Somatic Experiencing, and more.

Bodyscape/Landscape

In Bodyscape/Landscape, facilitated by Paula Josa-Jones, you will focus on learning to hold and expand awareness of the relationship between your inner somatic landscape and the outer world by connecting awareness and impulse to action. Using movement, stillness and strategic listening, you will explore the relationship between inner and outer attention as it unfolds within the practice of Authentic Movement.

Authentic Movement is a practice that can enliven and anchor your practice as a movement artist and somatic movement educator and therapist. For practitioner and client alike, Authentic Movement can provide a greater sense of agency and self-regulation. By helping clients develop trust in their own intuitive, bodily guidance, it supports and expands their attentional and expressive capacity.

Paula will lead the class using an integration of Authentic Movement and other somatic movement disciplines.

"A recipe for entering the body: 

Attention: because the body is precise. 

Listening: because the body is subtle. 

Kindness: because the body is tender."
